m-cult: Call for collaborative art and media projects, Helsinki 2016
Call for collaborative art and media projects, Helsinki 2016
Deadline: January 15, 2016
m-cult calls for art projects to be realized during residencies in Helsinki.
The call is open for both international and Finnish artists who work with participation, collaboration and media.
In 2016, 2 full residencies (2 months) and 3-4 mini residencies (2 weeks) will be produced.
FOCUS
The organisers are especially interested in art projects that:
* engage with people, communities or institutions in Helsinki in creation of the work
* use media / digital technology in an inventive, collaborative way
The main focus of the residencies is on collaborative media art. Socially engaged or public art projects that relate to digital media or technology as tool, platform or concept are particularly welcome, as are proposals that are multidisciplinary and combine practices of visual, sound or performing arts.
The location for most of the residency projects produced in 2016 is Maunula in north Helsinki. Maunula is a neighbourhood built in the 1950´s with a diverse population, lots of forest and a strong culture of democracy. More information on Maunula here.
PRODUCTION
The residency projects include the creation of a new work (full residency) or an adaptation of existing work (mini residency). The production process will be realized in collaboration with local agents and the results are shared with audiences at the end of the residency period.
As co-producer of the residency project, m-cult will support the artist through the process and facilitate the work with local groups. The process will be carefully documented by m-cult in collaboration with the artist.
The selected artists receive a fee of 4000 € (full residency) / 1000 € (mini residency) minus taxes.
There is a production budget to cover material and other costs; the scope of the budget will be negotiated with each selected artist.
Accommodation is provided and travel costs are covered for artists coming from outside of Helsinki.
